Chapter 147 The Empire Fell

A large part of the dark races army was wiped out after the tier 7 spell. The elves who had their morale down were screaming, and some even acknowledged Arthur as that elf from the legends.

That was the only way to explain the amount of power they witnessed, as well as affinity with multiple elements, just like in the legend.

All the troops saw that most of the army was now dead, so they prepared their own attack.

The generals were the first to recover from the shock as they yelled, “everyone, attack!”

A stream of elves wearing plate armor rushed towards the dark race army. Not only by foot, but with mounts just like the ones they used for the carriages.

Arthur checked his status after that spell, and he saw that most of his mana was now gone. The tier 7 spell used a lot of mana, and it wasn’t something he could cast over one time.

“This is like a supreme spell for me, as I’m still low-leveled. The only reason I can use it is because of my attributes, who are overpowered.” Arthur thought.

He got down from the air and went to the ground to rest near the generals. Kymil was there, hiding in a corner, scared now that the dark race army seemed to lose.

“That was extraordinary. Are you the reincarnation of that legendary elf?”

“I don’t know, maybe?” Arthur shrugged his shoulders.

He did not know who that elf was, but maybe he could get all the elves as devotees to him? Just like with the others from his settlement?

If, by all means, he gets the devotion of an entire nation, then surely the increase of his status would be extraordinary.

“Bill said there is only the Elven Kingdom, the Dragon Scale Empire, and the dark lands where the dark races lived.”

Arthur knew he could get the elves to be on his side, but the Dragon Scale Empire was something impossible.

“One step at a time!” Arthur thought.

,?-?m The elves slashed their swords, cutting the remaining dark creatures in half. There were that were stronger than the normal soldiers, but the generals acted together, and killed them as well.

A battle that was impossible to win was won. All thanks to the mighty of a tier 7 spell.

“What should we do with the fire?”

The surrounding area of the forest was burning after the spell Arthur cast, and the elves did not know any water spells to counter it.

“Take all the army back to the capital. I’ll deal with it, and return in a few days.” Arthur said.

“Understood.”

After what they witnessed, the respect towards Arthur had increased a lot, and in their eyes, he was someone that would make the Elven Kingdom great again.

All the army left, leaving only Arthur behind, who used his devour skill to devour the fire that was burning the trees around the place where the battle happened.

It took him some time to finish that, but in the end was worth it. The scenery wasn’t as beautiful as it used to be, as an enormous hole formed where the fireball hit, and the trees were all burnt out.

“I’ll learn a few spells to help the plants here grow and to fix the ground. That is the least I can do after destroying everything.”

The mighty of that spell was beyond what he expected, and he wouldn’t let that part of the beautiful Elven forest look like that.

He wanted to get the respect of these elves, and destroying their home wasn’t the right path to choose.

After he was done with everything, Arthur slowly returned to the capital. It did not take him that long to reach it, but the moment he got near it, he couldn’t believe it.

There were lots of tents around the capital, and the people there weren’t elves, but humans.

For a moment Arthur was scared something had happened to his girls, but once he talked with the people there, he understood what happened.

It turned out the attack at the border of the Elven kingdom was just a decoy to keep the elves busy, and the actual attack was against the Dragon Scale Empire, who fell and its citizens had to flee for their lives.

Not that many people survived, but those who did were now around Slyvian. The amount of tents around it was extraordinary. Slyvian had more humans inside of it than elves at that moment.

Arthur went to the place where he put the anchor and returned to his settlement to see if everything was okay.

“Ah, nothing happened. Good, good.”

Everything looked just like it was before he left. Arthur gathered everyone, especially Bill, who now would come with him to the capital.

“What? Are you serious?” Bill said as he grabbed Arthur by the arms.

Bill was from the Dragon Scale Empire, and at that moment, he did not know if his parents were alive or not.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure they are fine. I think it is the best if all of us go to the capital, and live there for the time being. We are closer here to the Dragon Scale Empire, and now that the dark races conquered it, we are in danger.” Arthur said.

They all agreed with his proposal and grabbed only the things to leave.

The sadness was clear on their faces. First, they had to flee from their desert, and now that they finally built something, they had to flee again.

Arthur wanted to truly conquer a place for them to stay, and seeing how the only dangerous thing on that continent was the dark races, then all he had to do was wipe them out.

“I’ll take back the Dragon Scale Empire myself, even If I have to kill each one of these creatures.”

After a few days of travel, they reached Slyvian. All the tribe members were shocked to see such an amazing city, completely different from the ones they saw back in the Shukar Empire.

“Wait here for the time being. Bill, go look for your family. I’ll be right back.”

The tents were still around the capital. Arthur flew above the gates, which was prohibited, but the moment the guards saw him, they bowed.

“Akhur!”

Arthur went directly towards the palace.
